| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
"Tsuyanashi-ka", which is also called as micro-cracking, is a physiological disorder developed on the cuticle of tomato fruit. In our experiment, factors such as UV, low temperature, plant hormones, calcium, and boron (B) etc. were testified if they could induce the development of "Tsuyanashi-ka". However, each factor did not induce the development of "Tsuyanashi-ka" when they were applied individually. On the other hand, B application effectively reduced the development of "Tsuyanashi-ka" suggesting that this physiological disorder would be induced through a combination of B-deficiency and the other factor(s) including environmental conditions.
